A Destructive Wheat Worm.

From different sections of the coun-
ty come reports of the ravages of the
worm in wheat. This worm varies from
nall an inch to an inch in length. is
green in color with brown or black head
It's especial forte is in cutting off the
heads of wheat, which it does with an
arrangement in the front of its head
That works in the same manner as a
pair OF scissors. The worm makes no
attempt to feed on the head. and is
charged by many with being simply an
instrument of destruction but the pro.
liability is that the object in cutting off
the head is to give the worm a chance
to suck the juice from the stalk. It is
estimated that many fields are damaged
One-tourth already. And still contin-
ues its work. This worm first made its
appearance in the spring of last wear.
and works mostly of night. 1t is sell
dom that any of them can be seen in
the day time. The same sections that
were attacked last year are suffering
again this. AS there seems to be no
way to get rid of these pests the proba-
0lllty Is that they will become an inn
portant factor in determining whether
the farmer of Kent county can raise
wheat with profit.

History Of a Terrapin.

Mr.. Edward Pierson, who resides on
the Persons Grove farm about two
miles from ElktOn, recently saw a land
tterrapin which has been in that neigh

grandfather Matthew Tyson saw the
tortoise in 1924. and cut the date Ofthe
year on the terrapins back. The tor
toise was then full grown. They can
still 0e decipherd. He told members of
the family of the fact. In 1857 Levi
Tyson saw the same terrapin on the
farm, and cut his initials on it. The ter
rIapin has since been seen by other mem
bers ofthe family. He is a veteran land
tortoise, being probably over a hundred
wears old.

Care of The eyes.

A Appointment Optican in a large city
recently said tOat cigarette smoking
does more injury to the eyes than any
thing he knows Of He also gave the
following advice: Keep a shade on
your lamp or gas-burner. Avoid all
sudden changes between light and dark
ness. Never begin to read, write or
sew for several minutes after coming
from darkness to light. Never read by
twilight, moonlight or in cloudy davs.
Never read or sew directly in front of
the light window or door. 1t is best
to let the light fall from above obliuue-
ly over the left shoulder. Never sleep
so that on first awakening the ewes
shall open on the light of a window.
DO not use the eye sight by light so
scant that it requires an effort to dis
criminate. The moment you are in
stinctively prompted to rub your ewes
that moment stop using them. If the
evelids are glued together on awaking
up do not forcibly open them, but ap-
ply saliva with the finger, It'll the speed
lest dilutent in the world; then wash
your eyes and face in warm water.
